After a few hours of flashing I realised that my Exec wont send MMS messages unless the radio version is 1.09. It doesnt matter what CE image or bootloader i am using.
I originally installed a qtek image with radio 1.15 and I couldnt send MMS. I then flashed the radio 1.09 by itself and it worked like a charm. I then flashed a crossbow image with radio 1.13 and i was getting a clear error message by the MMS utility: error synchronising. I am now flashing radio 1.09 on that WM6 image. Maybe this will work.
The problem is that it doesnt receive notifications about MMS messages and doesnt connect to send new ones. My problem with 1.09 though is that the WiFi protocols are very limited and cant use them with my router. Not sure if the wifi protocols are in the radio anyway. Can anyone else confirm this?
Edit: The radio version downgrade didnt make any difference
Hi, after speaking to Midget_1990, I have patched the RUU for the Universal to allow flashing with any CID on your phone, this is the official Universal RUU (with a slight GUI mod by someone Midget_1990 mentioned)
so have at it... enjoy.
thanks, was just about to upload it
thanks,
just downloaded and have a try

it does work... just has the minor caveat that it'll try to flash a Universal when it's not actually plugged in... so try not to be a complete plank with it.

It works fine.

Is it possible that you will make a HardSPL for Universal?
We still have no way to recover bricked radio...
we were discussing that earlier. the nogsm shows when the radio bootloader is not written to the device properly for whatever reason. its still early days but it may be possible to create a new radio bootloader that cant be overwritten so that problem wont occur. however it wont fix thoses who allready ahve the problem.

ok, if you are flashing a radio, and you brick your radio, but not the radio bootloader, then you should be able to recover by reflashing.
if you brick the Radio bootloader, then unfortunately, there is no way for you to recover from this; possibly the only way of recovery is directly accessing the radio chip pins via whatever interface it is... perhaps i2c? and flashing on a radio BL again through a separate interface... meaning you then need a radio bootloader binary in the correct format.

Not in 100% of the cases... there are some situations where the radio bootloader is intact, but the radio is screwed, this causes all bootloader commands that require radio seclevel to be queried to hang the device (like 'task 32' or 'info 2'), thus not being able to flash it with the usual RUUs.
If this happens, it can easily be fixed with hermflasher by flashing the raw radio without prior authenticating to bootloader.
Olipro!!! am having No GSM here!!!
Dear Dr. PDAs
My Universal is suffering for bad blocks of Radio ROM i guess.
it Says NO GSM when boots.
Boots WIN CE very well
can't flash radio rom.
Please tell if we could have HardSPL for Universal or is there any other way to recover it...
waiting.

V1640 and flash rom radio problem
hello,
On my V1640 my radio rom is version :0.00.00, and I can't flash it with a newradio rom. It is probably a CID Lock problem, How works Universal RUU ?
Is there a tutorial for flashing with Universal RUU ?
thanks
Regards

Flashing the O2 original ROm with this RUU
Hi,
Can i use this RUU combined with the original ROM from O2 to flash?
My current ROM:
ROM 1.13.82
Radio 1.04.02
ExtROM 1.13.188
New ROM available:
ROM 1.30.107
Radio 1.09.00
ExtROM 1.30.162
I have to use the bootloader mode to flash the new ROM because my XDA Exec has problem on connection with my PC via Active Sync. My Xda just dont sync with my PC where there is no connection established.
Hopefully someone can tell me what is this RUU? Whats the different than the original?

Yes, you can do it via RUU. Like any radio upgrade, it will not touch the OS and you will not loose anything. Keep in mind that the phone needs to be SuperCID unlocked or else you will not be able to flash it. (different from HardSPL unlock)
thanks for replying. Im new to flashing. Can you point me in the right direction in terms of supercid?
or the easier way.
download it in the rru, there should be an nbh file.
USE A 2GB MEMORY CARD OR LESS
then just rename the nbh file as "VOGUIMG.nbh" or "VOGUIMG" and throw it into bootloader and it should flash.
Hi guys,
I've just rooted the AMOLED HTC Desire (Branded, Simlocked, Orange FR) with the following version:
- HBOOT: 0.75
- Radio : 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
- Firmware version : 1.15
So i have few questions:
- Do i need to update radio to use with froyo ?
- Which radio should i use to remove simlock ?
- Is there any combination of radio + hboot would brick my Desire ?
- Any suggestion on cooked froyo i should use ?
Thank you very much
- no you dont need to upgrade your radio to use froyo, just to use the hd video recording
- you cant remove a simlock with a radio lol
- radio and hboot dont interact with eachother so i doubt it
- everyone seems to use leedroid these days, i like nextsence tho both roms are pretty awsome tho
@AndroHero: Thank you for you quick reply. But i seached forum, and found that each version of firmware does required a specific radio version. And my radio is quite obsolete. I doubt that froyo requires a higher radio version.
They also mentioned that if radio and hboot is not compatible with each other, my phone will be bricked.
And i'm afraid of upgrading to froyo will also upgrade radio and hboot which leads to loosing rooting capability.

i have used froyo with the stock radio i got with my desire, only problem was camcorder crashed, i have the same hboot version as you and used every radio under the sun with no problems, if you flash a custom rom, they will not come with a radio or hboot upgrade so dont worri about that
@AndroHero: I do see the newest version of LeeDroid do require new radio and they said i need a unlock code("Orange users may need an unlock code.")
I don't have a unlock code, but i still use an orange simcard. Is it ok ?

no orange users need to buy a sim unlock code to sim unlock your desire before you can flash a new radio, otherwise you will get network locked ( meaning you cant use the network, phone, internet ect ), after you have sim unlocked your desire you can continue to use your orange sim as usuall but you need to sim unlock your phone
@AndroHero: So said . Is there anyway so that i can update to froyo without upgrade radio ? I see most cooked roms need updated radio to work.
Anyway, if i want update radio, is there anyway to backup current radio and restore later ? Nandroid seems not to be eable to do that

there is a thread the top of the development section with all the radio's, just take a note of your radio and then download it again if nessessary like i said before as far as i know (and have tried) froyo will work with the old radio's just some of the functions will crash like camcorder, when the first htc froyo rom was leaked we had no new radio so everyone used it with the ones they had

The latest 2 radio's can be used on Orange without an unlock code.
Thank you guys, i will cross my fingers and do a radio update tonight
Old (4.x) radios are not supported with froyo. It may seem to work, but you will end up with problems, and devs will usually refuse to offer any support if you have an old radio.
Some custom roms will flash the radio as well.
I answered all this on MoDaCo this morning...
I've just updated radio to the newest, but the download speed seems never reach 0.5mbps, uplad is 1.6 mbps.I tried with iphone 4 (with the same sim card),it can reach 4mbps for download and 2mbps upload easily. Any idea ?

lol unlucky..
also i've herd people get past the radio problem by doing the update without the sim card in the phone. and then inserting it in.
they might be talking BS, but it might be fact. best thing to do is unlock the handset anyways

Have you checked your APN settings?
hi,i realized the problem is from the operator. There are 3 access point, and only one of them allows me connecting at max speed. "Orange Internet" is suck. Use "Orange World" instead.
Hi! I am in your same situation. I have a Orange branded Desire. Finally, did you update the radio without need SIM unlock?
Thanks
Yes, I CONFIRM that you can update it without simlock.
Ive tried to update baseband of my AT&T m8 to Taiwan radio, and after successful flashing it shows correct Taiwan radio on fastboot, but in about phone it shows unknown for baseband, and can't connect to anything and the phone reboots every few minutes.
The phone is unlocked has s-off and has supercid 11111111
Thankfully I did a backup of my AT&T radio before and was able to restore it, and it works. But I would like to try Taiwan radio since I'm going to be here for a year.
Also what I noticed which might not be related is that I couldn't flash radio using recovery, could only do it fastboot/adb method.
Well radio, hboot and recovery can only be flashed using fastboot. Thus will never work in recovery, as recovery can just install the corresponding OS.
Regarding the radio you wanted to try. Could be the OS is not designed to work with the Taiwan radio bands, or AT&T doesn't work with them in the region you're in at the moment. Another guess is, that the whole rest of your firmware, as well as you current stock ROM don't support the radio and you thus won't be abled to use it.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Is there a way to tell if a radio is supported by the ROM? I'm running ARHD 10.2, which is based on 4.4.3 stock rom 2.220.401.4. Or should I look for roms for Taiwan version of m8?
Thanks for your reply as it totally makes sense. Just it's strange they included recovery method in the radio thread, they should remove it to make it less confusing.

Right, so you installed a radio that was designed for different hardware and it caused problems. Experiment successfully completed.
